Our take
The no-frills neighbourhood bistro, the real thing. An owner who knows the customers, carefully made dishes of the day, a fair bill. A good option if you work or stay in the east of Clermont.
Lunchtime bistro on Avenue Jean Mermoz: starter-main or main-dessert set lunch on weekdays, local beers and natural wines, neighbourhood atmosphere.
Bar-bistro on Avenue Jean Mermoz, in the east of Clermont-Ferrand. Weekday set lunch (starter-main or main-dessert for around €13-16), home cooking. Terrace in season on the avenue side. Selection of local beers and natural wines. Neighbourhood bistro atmosphere, with a regular crowd. Open Monday to Friday, lunch service only. Closed at weekends. Free parking in the surrounding area.
Why we love it
